Water deposits the clay particles in thin, flat layers.
Mos flat rocks are sedimentary, with shale being a prime example. Shale forms from fine sediment being laid down in layers and then later hardened into rock, with the layers preserved. Slate is a metamorphic rock derived from shale that still preserves the layering.
You could say it had plane cleavages. What happens is that bonds between the molecular planes are much weaker than those in the plane of the cleavage. Graphite and mica would be good examples.
A mineral's ability to split easily along planes of weakness, producing flat surfaces.
It wil break & produce fragments of d same shape as d parent material bcos it broke on a flat surface
Slate is a fine-grained gray, green, or blue metamorphic rock that is easily flattened. The splitting of slate into flat layers illustrates its foliation.
Sedimentary rocks have flat layers.
Stratus is the cloud in flat layers

Clouds in flat layers are called stratus.
graphie exists in flat layers of hexagonal rings...
Stratus is the cloud in flat layers
Sedimentary rocks, such as shale or sandstone, often break into flat pieces because they are made up of layers of deposited materials that can easily separate along planes of weakness.
